OK, as I said in the first posting, diagnosed in Jan 16. It took forever to get the colonoscopy, bone scan, and pelvic CT scans done. Somehow, I feel this is important, yet doctors schedule it whenever they can.
Now I have decided on HIFU and found out that I have to do all the research, visit each doctor, and decide which one is telling the truth. I have also discovered that I need an MRI and photovaporization of the prostate (PVP) before HIFU. I am not sure how I thought all of this would happen, but I guess I was not prepared for doing EVERYTHING myself. Good thing I am retired as I work on this all the time. But delays are driving me crazy. I want to get these things done NOW and have the HIFU and go on living with the idea that I can have cancer again at any time. The MRI and PVP should be covered under my Humana plan so I am on my PCP's case every day to get these authorized. Also informed him I want it done with the newer 120W green laser system. I feel like I am studing to become a doctor. The longer this takes, the more desensitized I become. I am really getting to be sad most of the time......
